It hasn't been a good few years for the world. War and chaos have ensued and the fragile promise of peace is seeming to break apart at the seams. The little hope for a regular life not uprooted by death and carnage was the growing advancements in the medical community. With the small sliver of light growing ever bigger, it was only a matter of time until the glass ceiling dropped on our heads. It's been 5 years since the outbreak and we still haven't gotten any closer to a better world. Whatever the cause for it, we don't even know at this point, it has no apparent end. Most of humanity has been wiped out, either killed or turned into the zombies we now fight against. We thought we could wait them out, but swarms took us by surprise and eliminated everyone we held dear. There is no place to hide. There is no where to run. There is only the option to take up arms and fight back. We make our way to some place we can call home, somewhere we can be safe from the blood-thirsty undead chasing us at every turn. We don't have a hope for a cure, even though rumors are circulating that some lab in downtown Los Angeles has one...

We just want to live to see a brighter future.
Is that too much to ask?

❢ Profiles are to be put into the User Profiles sub-forum, following the rules and guidelines there. Once you have been given the all-clear, you may begin posting.

❷ There is no limit to the amount of characters you can take, but please, only take as many as you can handle. If you take 20 characters and only use 6, I will delete the unused characters. Unless there is a reason for a character to be out of action, please only make as many characters as needed. Also, due to the nature of the story, any character may meet an untimely demise, so keep this in the back of your mind. In this case, there will be times your character will be attacked (auto-hit), but unless there is a reason for it vital to the plot, your character won't die. For a character to die, it must be a mutual decision between the makers of the characters in play.

❸ Considering that this is a apocalypse-based story, there will be amounts of violence and gore. If you feel you will be squeamish to this, inform other players in the story. Violence and gore do not need to be over an MA15+ rating, so try to refrain from a R rating unless everyone is okay with such details.

❹ Please be literate in this Role Play! I don't expect huge paragraphs or anything of that matter, but don't use one-liners. Also, be sure to use the correct spelling, grammar, and other such things. If you have more than one character, this rule means that all characters must have lines that are more than 4 sentences long.

❺ Try and make your posts as pretty as you can! You can either use a creative border or a picture of your character(s) in each post. When creating your character(s), you will be required to make a banner. These banners include a picture of your character, details about them (such as what they have with them, who they are with, their health status, emotions, etc) and other such details. For examples or ideas, see the Posting Layout thread.

❻ Invite friends to this thread! Also, please try to post as often as you can, even if it's only one post a day. If you need to leave, please inform me as soon as you can, or even leave a post in the thread.

Neurogenisis (Wikipedia)
Neurogenisis (Brain Facts)
Kuru



Scientists were trying to improve memory function of the brain in aging adults, and also improve the function of all-but brain dead patients in hospitals. Through neurogenisis, they were making strides and progress. Science can pretty much save you from anything but brain death; they can swap out organs but when the brain turns to mush, you're gone. Well, not for long. They're already able to re-grow the brains of comatose head trauma patients until they wake up and walk around again. Couple that with the new ability to keep a dead body in a state of suspended animation so that it can be brought back to life later, and soon we'll be able to bring back the dead, as long as we get to them quickly enough. However, the process itself created a problem. It caused the brain to die off from the outside in. The outside being the cortex, the nice part of you that makes humans human. That just leaves the part that controls basic motor function and primitive instincts behind. Mix neurogenisis with some chemical testing to try and "organically heal" the brain from injuries, and a toxic cocktail was created, birthing the Zombie Pandemic.

These zombies have super limited brain function, but are just barely alive. They only have the capacity to walk, moan, and the primal urge to feed. The canibalistic tendencies are thought to be caused by an abnormally folded prion protein, mimicking symptoms of Kuru Disease. Yes, it's true that a shot to the heart could kill these zombies, as they are just barely alive, but the safest way to go is a shot to the head, killing off the brain stem and ending them. But, it is vitally important to know that the virus can be transmitted from both bites and bodily fluids, so you want to keep that zombie blood out of your system. The best method of defense against blood-to-turning is to wear a bandanna or medical mask over your face when swinging that baseball bat into their skull, or still to long-distance weapons like guns.
